It makes you (and probably millions like you) very easily led into believing almost any anti Trump propaganda. Again, the MSM has a lot to answer for. Kinda like all the Trump supporters who were easily led into believing that the election was rigged? How many fell for that? Millions. The fake news right wing media has a lot to answer for this. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dear leader can never do or be wrong. The rest of the world is wrong DT must always be right. They truly believe he is the only one that can save them from the doom scenarios that he has created for them. Intriguing suggestion... To expand it further I would suggest that embracing the full "package" (not just ex-pres Trump)confers on the possessor feelings of grandiosity and superiority as they are way above the common herd or the "sheep" as they like to say and are in proud possession of alternative "facts" as purveyed by paleo-conservative internet sites. But this is not an original phenomenon as right wing Christians AND American "libertarians" have been doing it for years and whilst it is something of an American phenomenon I have met plenty of Australians who espouse this form of alternate intellectual universe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bendejo Posted January 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2021 Trump administration had no coronavirus vaccine distribution plan They did have a plan. It was to wait for a miracle. If he played that one a little harder he could have opened a new frontier in connecting religion to politics. That collecting $$$ for the "stop the steal" bs made him the envy of the televangelists. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Trump did not drain the swamp, He also did not get the wall finished, and the Americans have paid every cent so far on what was built. Trump could not even be adult enough to lose like a man, only like a 4 year old, he took his bucket and got his own send off else where. I wonder if the mob that raided the capital building, showed up at his boom boom send off. I am happy , not to have to hear any more of his endless lies. I was happy to see that many of his supporters now have their images on pictures with the FBI and CIA and other law enforcement agencies, so they can be rounded up a lot easier at the next disturbance. Maybe in the future, the government will pay a call to many of the extremist group club houses and close them down, then sell off the buildings and contents. Oops, guess I am just dreaming.

Biden plans to partner with state and local governments to establish vaccination spots in conference centers, stadiums and gymnasiums. The new administration will also deploy thousands of clinical staff from federal agencies, military medical personnel and pharmacy chains to increase vaccinations, and make teachers and grocery clerks eligible. Fake news, here in Florida the vaccine has been going out for weeks to emergency personnel. Most have been stuck with the first (if they chose, not mandatory), some with the second shot. Another program has been vaccinating the assisted living facilities, last estimate is over 80 % have been vaccinated. As of last two weeks, they started opening the portal to 65 and older. They announce the date the portal will open by both web site and phone. First come first served. Publics grocery stores are also doing the same. I missed out last week but got on today at noon when the county health department opened two dates for shots. Get my first shot Thursday evening at 15:00 and second shot February 18. Publics site will open again at 05:00 in the morning. Both run it just like you go on line for a concert ticket, depends on how many people or in front of you. Actually, the same program, looks like you are buying a ticket. Florida was having a large influx of people from the north east and even overseas come to get the shot because the program is running so well. So, the Governor issued a policy last week making it for Florida resident only, so you have to prove you actually live in Florida. The reason being is the counties get an allotted % based on population of that county. Where you get your first shot you have to go to for the second. The Veterans hospitals are going to start with elderly veterans possibly in two weeks after they have all their staff finished. You can only give out the vaccine as the drug companies produce it.

The point being there was a supply system in place before Biden took office. Proof by my post from the county site. You will see this was the 11 and 12 time this had been run already over the last several weeks. Some states in the North East did screw it up. One city in particular had 1000s of vials go bad because they set up such terrible government bureaucracy it did not work. So yes, some states as usual screwed it up because that’s just the way their elected officials run their state.

placeholder Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) 29 minutes ago, ExpatOK said: Trump saved millions of lives by an early travel ban and Operation Warp Speed. As far as the travel ban is concerned, he did not. First off, the travel ban was only imposed on China. He waited another 40 days to impose the ban on Europe and another 4 to impose the ban on the UK and Ireland (Oddly enough, he has golf resorts in both the UK and Ireland). The version of the virus that raged on the East Coast came from Europe. Clearly, Trump was using the ban to make a political statement laying the blame on China. Whatever the truth of that is, it has nothing to do with controlling the the spread of the pandemic. There are other problems with your assertion, too, but this one is all that's needed to reveal its essential falsity. As for operation Warp Speed, do you truly believe that a full speed vaccine program wouldn't have been launched by any other occupant of the White House? Given that vaccines have been around for about 200 years (actually a lot longer but let's start with Jenner) what is there about launching a vaccine program that isn't obvious. In fact, the program wasn't launched until late April. Remember when Trump accused the Democrats of creating a hoax by exaggerating the threat posed by Covid-19? That belief probably helps explain the delay. Edited January 26, 2021 by placeholder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with his core argument starts with the fact that he did not ban travel from China. He imposed porous restrictions. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, he cited many steps that the Trump administration could have taken but didn't including using the Defense Authorization act to make more of the vaccine and ensure there were enough supplies to actually administer the vaccine, setting up community centers for the vaccine, and reaching out to minority communities where polling shows much greater reluctance to be vaccinated. It's shocking and bizarre that Trump made such limited use of the Defense Authorization Act. He wasn't reluctant to use defense dollars to build the Wall, but I guess since he believed that the the threat of the virus was exaggerated by the Democrats so much that it was a hoax, it's not surprising at all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
